Hi,
I would like to delete some photos from my ipad, but the trash icon doesn't appear.
I clicked on the photo to open it but the icon doesn't appear.
It is the same when I select the photo.
Do you know how to solve this problem ?
Best regards
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 9.3
If I open a photo that I synced from my computer I get :
You aren't seeing the 'duplicate and edit' option ? You can't edit the actual photo that you synced from your computer, they can't be amended in anyway on the iPad, you have to create a new camera roll version of it
If you copy your photos into the camera roll album with an application,, can you make differents albums there ?
When using Photo Manager Pro, do you put your photos into the camera roll album too? Can you have albums like when you put photos from Itunes?
How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were synced from a computer you can't delete it directly in the Photos app, you will need to reconnect the iPad to your computer, select its Photos tab in your computer's iTunes, change your photo sync selection (or delete/move the photos from the folders/albums they were synced from on you computer), and resync
Thanks for your answer.
I put the photos onto the iPad from ITunes.
Currently,I can't delet them nor edit them on the iPad.
I am not absolutly sure, but i think that in the past, it was possible for me to do this...
What do you think ?
When I try to modify a photo (with the icon on the top right of the ipad), a message says that the photo can't be changed (sorry i don't know the precise name for that in english)... For all photos, it's the same.
Yes I see this option, but when i touch it, it says the photo can't be changed.
Thanks for your explanation, i understand better.
It would be much better if we could delete and edit directly from the ipad! ....
Thanks for your help !
On my iPad if I tap the 'Duplicate and Edit' button it takes me into the edit window for it, with a copy of it being put in the Camera Roll album (and if I then perform an edit an edited version is also put in Camera Roll). If that isn't happening try closing the Photos app via the iPad's taskbar and do a soft-reset/reboot (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the ‘slide to power off’), after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) and see if then does it
It's the same process on my ipad.
I think i will search for another way than Itunes to put photos on the ipad (itunes synchronizations are often very long and sometimes with problems).
I have just seen that there is an application called Photosync for putting photos on the ipad. When putting photos from the pc to the ipad with this application, maybe is it possible after to delete photos directly on the ipad ?
I will have a look for solutions like that.
Thanks again for your help !
If I'm correctly understanding what the app does then yes, when you use the app to copy photos from your computer they should go into the Camera Roll album - I have a similar app, Simple Transfer Pro, which can copy photos to the Camera Roll album (and can copy multiple photos in one go).
There are also other photo management apps which you could use instead of Photos, I use Photo Manager Pro to have the photos from my computer - that app lets you delete photos directly in it
No, it wasn't. If you place a photo in the Photos app via iTunes sync, you need to resync to remove it. Has always been the case.
Thanks for the answer.
In the same way, it isn't possible to modify the photos on the ipad ?
That's correct, in terms of deleting. You can still Edit photos regardless.
The photos should go into the Camera Roll album, so you should be able to edit and delete them
You mean when using an application such as Photosync?
Is it possible to put many photos in this camera roll album ?
I only put them into Photo Manager Pro, and you can have albums in the app (including albums within albums)
The trash icon has disappeared, on Ipad
